Will the nuclear industry go back to bigger plants after Vogtle?

  • Résumé

  • A senior official at the Energy Department’s Loan Programs Office recently said there’s a strong case for building traditional, large-scale nuclear plants, pointing to the completion of Georgia Power's Vogtle plant. That would be a major shift in sentiment for the nuclear energy industry, which has focused on deploying smaller-scale reactors for years. POLITICO’s Catherine Morehouse breaks down how the delayed and overbudget Vogtle reactors could actually open the door for new large nuclear plans. Plus, two major biofuels trade groups are asking the Supreme Court to weigh in on the best legal venue to examine small refinery exemptions under the nation's biofuels blending program. Correction: An earlier version of this episode incorrectly named a power plant as a recipient of LPO funding.
